The director of the Urban Planning Department of La LagunaSantiago Pérez, reaffirmed yesterday that the new building at number 6 of the Nava and Grimón street It is in accordance with the planning and complies with the regulations, but he stressed that “the building license and the demolition license for the previous property were granted in February 2017, that is, by the previous Government” of CC.
In addition, the councilor highlighted that in January of that same year “the Historical Heritage Unit of the Cabildo sent a report in view of the license application, in which it revealed that the building had heritage values that deserved to be protected, but The Cabildo did not adopt, having powers to do so, any precautionary measure that would temporarily protect the building, nor did it initiate the modification of the special plan for the protection of the hull to incorporate it”.
Even so, Santiago Pérez affirmed that the licenses were not granted irregularly, since the demolished property did not have any type of protection. “The Management has to guarantee legal certainty, and when a project is presented in accordance with the planning, the Management cannot not grant the license, because it would be committing an illegality that would constitute a crime.”
Likewise, the mayor pointed out that, in addition, “the special plan radically proscribes the use of false history.”
On the other hand, Santiago Pérez recalled that it was also a CC Government that granted the license to build the wake in the Plaza del Cristo, although he pointed out that this does not imply authorization to pass through the square and that the only solution would be an access Underground.
The councilor also criticized the climate of “doubts and social alarm” that CC has been trying to create in recent months with its complaints and accused “Clavijo” of being “behind the scenes pulling the strings” to “destabilize La Laguna” . “This municipal government has management, arguments and a history of defending legality and we are going to defend it,” he said.
